FREDERICK II. BASCOM, OF LAS CRUCES, TERRITORY OF NEV MEXICO.

MACHINE FOR MEASURING AND CUTTING GOODS FROM ROLLS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 635,087', dated October17, 1899. Application filed December 8, 1897. Serial No. 661,122. @Tomodel.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. BAscoM, a citizen of the United States,residing at Las Cruces, in the county of Donna Ana and Territory of NewMexico, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machinesfor Measuring and Cutting Goods from Rolls,

,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to vmachines for measuring and cutting Wire-clothor other goods from the roll; and the main object of myimprovements isefficiency and convenience in operation.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of mymachine. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same with a portion brokenout and omitted in order to economize space on the drawing. Fig. 3 is asec tional plan View of the same. Fig. t is an enlarged detachedvertical section, partly in elevation, of the upper end' of thewindingrollei` and its supports, the plane of section extendinglaterally through the pivotal screws. Fig. 5 is a detached verticalsection at the lower end of said roller on the line 5 5 of Fig. 3. Fig.6 is a horizontal section of the winding-roller. Fig. 7 is a plan of aportion of the disk for the winding-roller, together with a sectionalplan of connected parts, on the line 7 7 of Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is asectional View of the roll-supports together with a side elevation ofthe ends of one ofthe rolls upon which the wire-cloth in stock is wound.Fig. 9 is a partial side elevation of one of said rolls and aspring-pressed holder for the wire-cloth when held on said roll. Fig. 10is a still further enlarged front elevation of the counting orregistering mechanism with dial, dac., removed. Fig. 11 is a sectionalplan of the same on the line 11 11 of Fig. 10. Fig. 12 is a frontelevation of a portion ofthe registering dial and pointer. Fig. 13 is aplan view of the same. Fig. 14 is a sectional plan of my machine with amodification as to the cutter and presser roller, the scale being thesame as inY Figs. l to 3; and Fig. 15 is an elevation cfa portion ofsaid cutter and presser roller when viewed in the direction of the arrowin Fig. 141.

A and B designate, respectively, the baseplate and top plate of theframe for the measuring and cutting apparatus, the said plates beingprovided with extensions A' and B' for supporting a roll-holder for thestock. Rods or standards 16 connect the top and bottom plates, and withsaid plates form the frame of the machine. The upper and lower heads 17and 18 of the roll-holder are supported on suitable pivots and connectedby a central shaft 19, Fig. 3, and on said shaft is a support for thespring-pressed holding-arms 20. As shown, said support is in the form ofa drum or cylinder 21; but its form is wholly immaterial so long as itfurnishes at the proper points the support for the holding-arms 20.

Within the heads of the vertical and ren volving roll-holder I place anydesi red number of stock-rolls 22 for receiving and holding rolls ofwire-cloth or other goods in vstock ready to be measured and cut off inquantities, as called for from time to time. The upper ends of thesestock-rolls are provided with journals 23, which can be slipped vintoand out of their bearings iu the upper head 18, While their lower endsare provided with supporting table-disks 24 and shouldered trunnions 25,Fig. 8, that are received in the bearings 26 of the lower head 17, asshown in Fig. 8, in which it will be noticed that the journals 23 arelong enough so that when the rolls are seated in their bearings in thelower head 17 the journals 23 will not withdraw from their bearings int-he upper head 18, while at the same time the said rolls are shortenough to permit them to be lifted to remove their lower en ds fromtheirbearin gs, and when said lower end is carried outwardly to clearthe lower head 17 the roll may be pulled longitutudinally out of itsbearing in the upper head. This construction permits the readywithdrawal of the rolls for reloading them and the ready replacement ofthem in the rollholder when reloaded.

In Fig. 3 I have made broken circles 27 to represent rolls of wire-clothon the rolls 22, and the spring-pressed holding-arms 20 are representedas pressing on the said wire-cloth to hold it against accidentalunwinding. These arms may be of any ordinary construction for analogoususes. They .consist of a blade mounted on bails or rods 28, hinged tothe drum 21, as at 30, and a spring 29 to force said blades toward therolls 22.

In Fig. 1 I have shown a hood or guard C IOO at the upper end of themachine between the rods or standards 16 to cover and protect the upperhead and upper ends of the rolls therein; but at the rear of the machinethe holder and rolls are left exposed for the convenience of reloadingthe rolls. At the front the holder and rolls are mainly covered by themeasuring and cutting-off apparatus.

At the front left-hand corner of the machine is a shaft or pipe 3l, hungto partially revolve in suitable bearings, and rigidly mounted thereonare two arms 35, to which a presser-roller 32 is journaled. A lever 33is also secured to said shaft and arranged for being engaged by a latch34 on the adjacent corner post or standard 16. Within the path of thepresser-roller 32 is a measuring-roller 36, against which thepresser-roller is irml y held when the lever 33 is in place by the latch34, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. This measuring-roller is mounted torevolve freely in its bearings, and one end-its upper end, as shownisprovided with a beveled pinion 37, Fig.l l, for driving the counting orregistering mechanism hereinafter described. Near the measuring-roller36 is a cutting-bed 38, which I prefer to make in the form of acylinder, so that'it can be turned for bringing a fresh portion of itsperiphery into working position when desired. In front of this bed 38 isa cutter bar or frame 39, upon which I mount in suitable ways or guidesa sliding cutter-frame 40 and rolling cutter 41, Fig. l. I prefer tomount the cutter-bar adjustably in place, so that it may be moved to andfrom the bed to make the cutter bear properly thereon for the wholelength of said bed. This adjustability may be had by securing the bar onthe .frame by bolts 42, passing through suitable slots and by aset-screw 43, arranged to bear on the edge of the bar, the same being anordinary construction in other machines for making similar adjustments.

At one side of and adjacent to the cuttingoff mechanism is the hollowwinding-roller 44, (see Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6,) which for convenienceof manufacture I prefer to make from a piece of pipe. It is slotted onone side for substantially its whole length. At the lower end is a block45, (see Figs. 5 and 6,) that fills the pipe and is made fast therein,and on the under side of said block is a squared stud or centralprojection 46, adapted to be received in a correspondingly-shaped socketand to be revolved by said socket. One side of this blocky is cut away,as at 47, so as to leave the roller open 'on one side to its extremelower end, less the squared stud. The upper end of said pipe is alsoIilled by a block 48, Fig. 5, which is bored centrally to form a bearingfor the end 49 of the cam-shaft 50. Instead of journaling this rollerdirectly in the upper plate 18 of the frame, a large hole 5l, Fig. 4, ismade for said roller through said plate, and two pivotal screws 58 arearranged by the side of said hole upon which to pivot the swingingcollar 52, which collar serves the double purpose of a frame for theroller to swing 'on and as a bearing for the roller to revolve within.The roller just above said collar is provided with a fixed shoulder 53,that rests upon the upper side of the collar 52 at times and preventssaid roller from falling down or being pulled through said collar. Forconvenience of construction I have shown this fixed shoulder as formedof a ring rigidly secured on said roller. The cam-shaft 50 has itsjournal 54 within the block 45, at the lower end of the roller 44, andis provided on one side with a cam 55 of substantially the length of thecam-shaft. The cam projects sufficiently so that its rounding or beveledside may be forced firmly against the slotted wall of the hollow rollerat one side to form a gripping device and so that when turned in theopposite direction its shoulder 56 may strike the opposite wall of theslot in the hollow roller and stop the cam with its gripping-face awayfrom the gripping-jaw of the slot ready to receive the wirecloth in thegripping-jaws, as shown in Fig. 3. The cam-shaft and cam are turned inthe roller 44 by means of a latch-lever 83, that is locked in place whenthe cam is forced to its work by having its lower edge drop into a notchin the shell of the roller 44.

The lower end of the winding-roller 44 is immediately over the beveledgear 57 properly journaled on the base-plate A and having on its upperside the driving disk or plate 59, within the center of which is asquared socket 64, that receives the. squared stud 46 on the lower endof the winding-roller 44, which stud and socket center the lower end ofsaid roller. This beveled gear 57 is driven by the beveled gear 60, theshaft 6l of which is provided with a crank 62. The axis of the beveledgear 57 is bored out to receive a sliding rod 63, the lower end of whichrod rests upon the arm 64 of the rock-shaft 65. The outer end of saidrock-shaft is provided with a lever 66, which may be depressed to liftthe sliding rod 63 to bring its upper end level with or a little abovethe top of the disk 59, whereby the winding-roller 44 may be lifted farenough to withdraw the squared stud 46.

out of the socket 64 and permit the lower end of said roller to bepulled forward and entirely away from the said disk, when said rollerwill swing on and be supported by its pivotal screws 58.

The beveled pinion 37 on the upper end of the measuring-roller 36engages the beveled wheel 66 of the counting or registering mechanism D.Said wheel is on the shaft 67, that carries the pointer 68 to registerinches on the dial 69. Said shaft also carries a pinion 70, engagingwith a similar pinion 7l, that drives the wheel 72 on the shaft 73. Apinion 74 on this shaft 73 engages the wheel 75, which carries a pinion76, that engages and drives the wheel 77 on the socket 78, which socketcarries the pointer 79, that registers feet on the The pointers arenotshown in Figs. 10

dial.

and 1l. They are attached to the socket and shaft by spring-sockets, sothat they may slip for changing their position on the socket or shaft,while at the same time they are held in place with sufficient frictionto be carried with said socket and shaft. The dial 69 is provided with aspring-stop 80, set on an incline, as shown in Fig. 13, so that it willyield and let the pointer pass when said pointer is moving in a forwarddirection and so as to stop the said pointer at a certain point when itis moved backwardly. As my machine herein shown is arranged the stopshould arrest the backward movement of said pointer when it registers orindicates half a foot on the dial.

The several rolls 22 of the revolving holder may be loaded withdifferent kinds of wirecloth or wire-clot-h of different widths. Thewinding-roller 44 should be set with its open slot nearly toward thefront. The presserroll 32 is released by disconnecting its lever 33 fromthe latch, when said roller may be thrown back away from themeasuring-roller, as indicated by broken lines in Fig. 3. The revolvingholder can be revolved to bring the roll 22 that carries the desiredwire-cloth to the front, when the end of the cloth will be unrolled,passed around the measuring-roll, between the cutting-bed 38 andcutter-bar 39, and its end passed in between the jaws of thewinding-roller 44, as indicated by the broken lines S1 and S2 in Fig. 3.The cam 55 is then turned by means of the latch-lever 83 to force thecam upon the wire-cloth and grip it firmly, and then the cam is lockedto the roller 44 against independent rotation by forcing its lower edgeinto a notch in the upper end of said roller, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4.The presser-roller 32 is then forced against the wire-cloth on themeasuring-roller and locked in place bythe lever 33 and latch 34. In themachine shown there is six inches of wire-cloth extended beyond thecuttingpoint of the cutter 41, and therefore the inchpointer 68 is seton the dial to indicate six inches, and the feet-pointer 79 is broughtback against its stop, so that it indicates half afoot-that is, half ofone of the grad nations on the outer circle of the dial. Thewindingroller is now turned by means of the crank to draw the wire-clothfrom the roll 22' and wind it on the roll 44 until the dial registersthe desired length of wire-cloth. The cutter-carriage 40 is now movedalong on the cutter-bar 39 to carry the roller-cutter over thecutter-bed and cut off the wire-cloth at that point. down by means ofthe handle 84. The brake or holder 20, which bears on the wire-cloth ofthe winding-roller 44, will prevent the cloth thereon from unwinding.The short length that projects from the winding-roller when thewire-cloth is first cut may be wound around the roll by hand, or aslight turn of the winding-roller may be given through the Thecutter-carriage may be pulled crank to shorten up the projecting end.The cloth thus wound on the roll may be tied to prevent unwindin gafterremoval. The leverlatch 83 is then lifted to release it from thewinding-roller 44 and is turned to move the cam for releasing its holdon the wire-cloth, and then the roll 44 and wire-cloth thereon arelifted by means of the lever 65 and rockshaft to disengage the lower endof the winding-roll from its driving-socket. The lower end of said rollcan then be swung forwardly and the wire-cloth slipped off from itslower end. The slabbing off of the block 45 on one side, as at 46,leaves the roller open to its extreme lower end, (less the squaredstud,) so that the end of the wire-cloth that was gripped within theroller may readily pass out at said lower end. The winding-roller isbest driven in a direction to carry the gripped end of the wire-clothforwardly-instead of backwardly, and thereby the inner end of thewire-cloth conforms to the rest of the'roll and is free from all abruptbends or kinks.

It should be noted that the measuring and cutting-off mechanism may beused independently of the revolving holder for the rolls. For. example,that portion of the machine which is within the top and bottom plates BA without their extensions may be used to take goods lfrom the roll whenthe roll is brought to the machine or the machine is brought to theroll. In Fig. 14 I show a sectional plan of such portion of the machine;but I have also shown therein a different cntter. In this construction85 designates a fixed shear-blade and 86 a swinging shearblade acting inconnection therewith. This blade, by means of suitable arms 87, (seealso Fig. 15,) is mounted on theshat't 83 and may be operated by thelever 89. I also mount the arms 35 of the presser-roller 32 on the sameshaft, but leave them loose thereon instead of rigid, so that theshear-blade 86 may have a greater range of motion than the saidpresser-roller, and I force said presser-roller to its work by means ofa spring 90 on one of the arms 87 of the moving shear-blade, so thatwhen said shear-blade is swung back and locked by the latch 91, as shownin Fig. 14, the presser-roller is held into engagement with themeasuring-roller 36. The position of the presser-roller 32 and shear 86when released from the latch 91 and moved forward is indicated by brokenlines in Fig. 14.

I have described the cutting` mechanism of Figs. 14 and 15 and thecounting and registering mechanism in order to disclose an operativemachine; but in their general construction they are both old in-othermachines, and, if desired, other known mechanisms for the same purposemay be substituted therefor as equivalents. Vhile the counting orregistering mechanism is a convenience, it should be noted that themeasuring-roller is operative without the same, as the user can tell theamount measured off by merely counting ICO IIO

the revolutions of said roller. As shown, each revolution of the rollermeasures six inches.

It is apparent that in carrying out my invention some changes from theconstruction herein shown in addition to the changes above noted lnay bemade, and I would therefore have it understood that I do not limitmyself to the exact form shown, but hold myself at liberty to make suchchanges and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of myinvention.

One important feature of my invention is that it is adapted to handlewire-cloth, carpets, belting, and other goods from a vertically-mountedroll-holder with rolls of stock thereon, whereby a great saving ofstore-space is made, especially in long rolls, as a twelvefoot rolloccupies no more space than does a twelve-inch roll. The verticalposition of the machine also makes it much more convenient for theoperator, as he can readily gain access to any side of the roll-holderor to the several rollers, and, further, the revolving holder will stayin whatever position it may be set no matter how the weight thereon maybe distributed with reference to the axis of said holder, whereas if theroll-holder were placed on a horizontal axis and was weighted more onone side of its axis than on the other it would be difiicult to bringand hold any particular roll of stock in the holder into the properposition for feeding it to the measuring-roller.
